yes, i've given my consent for sex ed, and yes they should ask. i think it serves as a good starting point for conversation at home. i'm positive alot of kids would never get "the talk" if not for the school's intervention. the "talk" at school started the discussion at home, it was an open door for me really.
we are asked "consent" on just about anything that goes on in the school anymore. drug awareness programs, standardized testing, school parties...we are given the option to hold the kid out of it all if we find the content "objectionable or offensive".
standardized testing??? content objectionable?? i was given a sample test and i could not, for the life of me or my kid, find one thing that may have been offensive or objectionable. i think they are in the overkill "consent" mode right now.

My parents were never asked consent to teach me.
I even learned the proper way to put a condom on a banana. (Whatever that was good for)
My parents just assumed because I was the youngest I'd already heard. Maybe it was because they assumed if they didn't tell me, I wouldn't know how. Their only instruction was: NEVER!!!
Not a good assumption....
Like RR says, it's an excellent springboard for home discussions. I can't believe some of the questions I've already gotten. "ummm, son, don't you want to ask your DAD that question???"

When I was in need of that information it did not exist. We got most of our misinformation from some other maroon a little older than us. Thank God for Playboy when we could get one, it DID have informative articles and I was never a fan of big boobs and airbrushed crotches.
I think the school is the proper place for that class as parents would have a very difficult time being objective. I also feel that mom is the best one to talk to a son and dad for the daughter if it's going to be a home discussion. I know I would have been much more comfortable talking to mom and I would also feel much more comfortable talking to my daughter than my son.
However all we got was "don't do it"!!!!! Somehow they seemed to think that was going to work. I wonder if it really worked for them? I know I lost my first two girlfriends because I listened to mom when she said "don't touch a girl there". They WANTED to be touched "there" so I was discarded in favor of someone who would. With #3 I wasted no time heading for "there", she reciprocated and she owned me for a year and a half. It ended because her mother finally won. Her father was a colonel and I was enlisted, Mom did NOT approve.

Would you give your consent?
Yes
Should there be a need for consent?
Yes. I want to know what they're teaching her and the option to sit in so I can answer any questions she might have about it.
Who cares you teach your own kid the facts anyway?
SHe's 7, so when asked we tell her the truth with the real names of things.
What do you think?
Lots of things.
